Fig. 5 shows the pouch re.- leased from the sna button 5. In order to show the fabric si e conceal the leather side of the pouch, as shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 2, the elongated facing of the pouch is reversed" over the lining thereof and the fastener 6 is connected to the snap button 5, so that nothing but the fabric side is exposed, the former leather exterior now being concealed by the fabric portion of the exposed.

It will be apparent that the lining of the bag is not disturbed during this change,

which" is accomplished entirely by making what may be termed the pouch or pouch portion of two diverse fabrics. tion can be extended as shown in Fig. 5, and in Figs. 4 and 6. The two diverse fabrics of which the ouch 'is madeare connected to each other ad acent the snap fastener head6.
